frameworks are vacuum- (or gravity-driven) and weight-driven processes. Vacuum
or gravity frameworks are utilizing hollow fibre or flat sheet layers introduced in
either the bioreactors or tank. Weight-driven frameworks are in-pipe cartridge
frameworks (Stoquart et al. 2012). The effluent should be pretreated priorly to reduce
the solid content and sediments for better efficiency of MB.
11.2.4 Trickling Filter (TF)
TF are organic reactor bed which operates by utilization of oxygen from vicinity.
There is presettled wastewater that is continuously streamed over the channel. As the
water travels through the pores of the channel, organic matters are utilized and
decomposed by the biofilm covering the channel material (Tilley 2014). The TB is
